Your guide to celebrating October 10 2023
Skip to all 21 daysOctober 10 is made for an afternoon of decorating, tasting and making, with plenty of room for crooked frosting and dropped stitches. Clear a little table space and prepare to create something that does not need to look professional to be worth showing off.
Start with National Cake Decorating Day. Bake a favorite cake, then use the top as your canvas. Practice a new frosting technique, or cut a few fondant shapes and arrange them into a design. If you would rather make it social, set out plain cupcakes and toppings for a decorating party. Sprinkles have a remarkable ability to make everyone feel qualified.
Once the cake is ready for its close-up, add another dessert to the table for World Gulab Jamun Day. Share the syrup-soaked sweets with whoever helped decorate, or enjoy one alongside a slice of cake. The contrast between elaborate icing and neat little golden spheres makes the dessert spread look especially celebratory, even if the cake has a suspicious lean.
World Gulab Jamun Day
Mouthwatering spheres, dripping with sweetness—delightful treats that capture the essence of culinary indulgence and celebration.
After dessert, tidy the kitchen and settle in with I Love Yarn Day. Pick up a knitting or crochet project and work on it for a while. A beginner can practice a simple row, while a longtime maker can share a current project online and browse what other yarn fans have made.
